Uninstalled video card..no video when Windows ME starts

My son's computer is about 5 years old. Dell. It is only used for internet and some games. It came with an integrated video card and some of my son's games would not play so I installed a different graphics card but it ended up being worse than the integrated one. I removed the video card and now as soon as Windows is supposed to start up, my monitor goes to the orange light that it is not getting signal. What do I do from here?

2) Make sure you have the right drivers. If you go to the Dell website it will have a list of drivers for you machine

3) Try booting in safe mode if you don't want to do all that. To do that, right after the BIOS load screen finishes, press F8. If you don't know what that means, after the text shows up on your screen and your computer beeps, press F8 like a mad man ;-)
